Chapter 967: Olive Branch No. 1 II
readx; China's nuclear bomb forces have a strong bad taste for the naming of nuclear bomb code names, and the nuclear bombs that bombed this bomb are all named Sakura, from Sakura No. 1 to Sakura No. 4. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNot only is the white parachute that blooms when the nuclear bomb is dropped, and it looks like a cherry blossom from a distance, but the cherry blossom also represents the national flower of the country.
In Western countries, the olive branch represents peace, and it is also a bit funny for China to name the nuclear bomb after the olive branch that represents peace, after all, the threat of nuclear bombs to achieve peace between China and the United States is absolutely sad to the ears.
In addition, the Olive Branch-1 atomic bomb is different from the four nuclear bombs that were dropped on the city before, China's nuclear bomb production has lasted for many years, due to the progress of technology and the increase in the production of high-purity enriched uranium, the explosive yield of the nuclear bomb produced is increasing year by year, and China's nuclear arsenal is currently in the explosion yield from between 10,000 tons and 150,000 tons, up to six batches, when the bombing was originally said to be 'Ben', except for the nuclear bomb dropped on Tokyo at the beginning, it was the latest model H8 nuclear bomb produced in the second half of 1944. It is also the most powerful atomic bomb in China's nuclear arsenal, using plutonium-239 as a charge and an explosive yield of about 150,000 tons. The three bombs dropped in the back were the first batch of atomic bombs produced, two of which were the earliest batches, that is, H1 nuclear bombs, using uranium-235 as a charge and an explosive yield of about 15,000 tons, while the other was a plutonium bomb with plutonium-239 as a charge at the same time, with an explosive yield of about 30,000 tons. In the later period of China's nuclear bomb production, in order to increase production, uranium bombs and plutonium bombs were produced at the same time, and with the continuous improvement of technological progress, the explosive yield also increased from 30,000 tons to 60,000 tons, then to 100,000 tons, and then to 150,000 tons.
With regard to the US nuclear bomb exercise, China was not willing to take the latest H8 nuclear bomb, but took out the earliest H3 nuclear bomb left in its nuclear arsenal, which also used plutonium as a charge, and the estimated explosive yield was about 40,000 tons. After all, it's an exercise, there is no need to take out the latest model of nuclear bombs, it is purely a waste, there are several early nuclear bombs, and these early nuclear bombs are difficult to use, and it is also very difficult to preserve them for a long time, so now there is a chance to use them, as for those that cannot be used, China's nuclear bomb engineering base is also preparing to upgrade and modify these early nuclear bombs, and the empty shells of nuclear bombs are not important, what is important is their high-purity nuclear materials.
In addition to the B19 bomber carrying the Olive Branch-1 nuclear bomb, the other two were equipped with a large amount of equipment to collect various materials after the explosion.
China has dropped nuclear bombs four times before, and its experience in delivering nuclear bombs is the first in the world, isn't it, other countries don't even have nuclear bombs, so what is the experience of nuclear bombing.
This group of three B19 bombers did not follow the flight path of the previous two groups of meteorological reconnaissance planes, but broke away from Canada's airspace early and entered the Atlantic Ocean in advance to continue their flights southward.
At the same time, almost the entire coastal cities on the east coast of the United States carried out the largest lighting control in history, and New York, known as the city that never sleeps, was cut off from the entire city's civilian power supply without hesitation. Since the afternoon, the people have been warned by the Air Defense Command, and some have hidden in the basement of their homes, and those who do not have basements are hiding inside the stone buildings that take care of it, and some people are even rushing out of the city, causing a traffic jam in New York.
At the same time, many anti-aircraft artillery positions in New York City have entered the highest level of combat readiness to prevent China's temporary nuclear bombing of New York.
After all, since last year, the huge power of the nuclear bomb and the mushroom cloud after the explosion have been widely circulated around the world, especially in the few photos released by the Chinese government, the huge mushroom cloud rising in the city has shocked the eyes of people all over the world.
Many naval vessels have been scattered all around, but they did not dare to directly enter the exercise area to avoid being attacked by nuclear bombs, and at the same time, a large number of planes are also well prepared, and once the Chinese bomber group arrives, then a large number of US planes will carry a lot of equipment to collect all kinds of information.
At the same time, a large number of fighters, including the P80, are ready to take off and intercept at any time!
At this time, in the face of China's nuclear bomb launch exercises, the entire eastern coast of the United States has entered the highest level of combat readiness, but also fell into chaos!
At 5:30 a.m., an urgent telegram was sent from an American destroyer located in the Atlantic, claiming to have spotted a group of Chinese bombers over the Atlantic, northeast of the exercise area.
As China's B19 bomber fleet approached, more and more U.S. Navy ships in the area spotted the three B19 bombers with radar.
At this time, the three B19 bombers, like the previous two groups of meteorological reconnaissance planes, flew at an altitude of 15,000 meters, and were still slowly climbing, and the practical combat altitude of the B19 bombers could reach 16,000 meters, and even under extreme circumstances, they could continue to climb and barely reach an altitude of more than 16,800 meters.
Due to the tragic maneuverability of the B19 bomber and the outrageous low rate of climb, although there is still a very long distance to reach the exercise area, the B19 bomber has already begun to climb in order to reach an altitude of 16,000 meters when dropping the bomb.
At 6:40 a.m. Eastern time, the B19 bomber group was about to arrive in the exercise area, and at this time, there were no ships or personnel in the exercise area, but there were many ships surrounding the surrounding waters, including British, American, and Canadian warships, as well as a small number of civilian ships, and dozens of large and small planes flying in the sky, including fighter planes, and also a large number of reconnaissance planes carrying a large number of reconnaissance equipment.
Countless reconnaissance equipment are aimed at the three small black dots in the sky, as well as cameras and video cameras, obviously the Americans are worried about worrying, and at the same time they are also preparing to use this opportunity to record the actual situation of the nuclear bomb explosion, and after collecting these materials, it will be of great help to the United States in the nuclear bomb test, at least there will be an intuitive feeling.
Colonel Huang Fei'an didn't have the heart to pay attention to the many spare US planes below at this time, he was now closely calculating the current position with the members of the navigation team, and this nuclear bomb could not be dropped in the wrong place, and it must be accurately dropped in the predetermined exercise area to avoid any mistakes.
When the people of the navigation group repeatedly calculated several times, they unanimously came to the conclusion: the formation has reached the predetermined sea area!
Huang Fei'an nodded, and then said, "Since that's the case, then prepare to drop the bomb!" ā
At this time, the sun has risen on the surface of the sea and is emitting a soft light!
At 7:03 a.m. EST, Huang Fei'an observed the readings on many meters and said, "Prepare for a one-minute bomb countdown!" Lift Olive Branch No. 1 Insurance! ā
"Thirty seconds countdown to bombing!"
As time passed, the bomb magazine under the belly of the huge B19 bomber had been opened, and a large amount of cold air from high altitude poured into the bomb magazine.
"Ten seconds!"
"Nine seconds!"
ā¦ā¦
"Three seconds!"
"Two seconds!"
"One Second"
"Bomb dropping!"
As Huang Fei'an's voice fell, the bomb dropping button was also pressed, and in the next moment, a black dot fell from the belly of this B19 bomber, and fell rapidly under the traction of the earth's gravity!
It didn't take long for a small parachute to be opened, and then under the traction of the small parachute, the main parachute was also opened, and the nuclear bomb began to descend at a uniform speed.
In the eyes of many Americans below, you can almost clearly see a small black dot in the sky, as the black dot gets bigger and bigger, the shape of the Olive Branch No. 1 is gradually seen by many people below, countless cameras began to take pictures, and those video recorders are recording the whole process from the B19 bomber above from the bomb drop!
As the white parachute on the Olive Branch-1 nuclear bomb was opened, the Olive Branch-1 began to descend at an even speed, and as the altitude became lower and lower, when the altitude reached an altitude of 500 meters, the black dots in the various cameras and video recorders disappeared, and a strong array of white light appeared.
The intense white light that erupted from the surface of the sea even obscured the red sun on the sea, and its light was even more fierce than the sun.
Immediately afterwards, the huge shock wave almost spread to the sea surface within a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the sea water boiled into high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor, and at this time, a huge mushroom cloud also rose into the sky.
Although the allied planes and ships did not enter the exercise area, but were only on the periphery, they could still clearly feel that the planes were jolting and the sea water under the ships was surging wildly, even if they were tens of kilometers away.
"Is this the power of a nuclear bomb? And if such a nuclear bomb was dropped in the heart of New York City? I'm afraid most of New York will be in ruins! This was the thought in the minds of most of the Americans present.
When the Americans were shocked, the three B19 bombers were already detached at high speed!
After learning of the success of the nuclear bomb exercise, Chen Jingyun instructed the Information Office of the State Military Commission to issue a circular saying that China's nuclear bomb launch exercise in the Atlantic Ocean had been a complete success, and that the huge military strength of China's three armed forces is capable of ensuring the safety of the people and safeguarding the interests of the state and the nation.
